Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 417: Purity of Mind
Zhang Yang has always hoped that the team can have a technical core star in the midfield, that is, players of the type and performance like Ronaldinho, Kaka, C-Ronaldo, Messi, Totti, etc.

These players can all be called superstars.

Superstars are not the same as superstars.

For midfielders, such as German captain Ballack, England stars Lampard, Gerrard, and Czech veteran captain Pavel Nedved, etc., can all be considered superstars, but they belong to cooperation, defense, and team leaders. Superstars who are not good at technology, but superstars who are often good at technology, all have a common characteristic: it is difficult to buy with money.

For example, Totti, who played for Roma for life.

Totti has become a symbol of Rome. Many people can think of Totti when they think of Rome.

why?

No matter how much transfer fee other clubs pay, Roma will not sell Totti, otherwise Totti will not leave Roma.

Another example is Ronaldinho.

Since becoming famous in Paris Saint-Germain, Ronaldinho joined Barcelona and became the representative star of Barcelona. Now his state has declined. Ronaldinho's status is a bit unstable. There will be rumors of leaving, but in any case, Ronaldinho’s good form has contributed to Barcelona. Chelsea club chairman Abramovich waved a large check, but Barcelona did not move a bit .

C-Ronaldo is similar.

Zhang Yang knows that C-Ronaldo will choose to join Real Madrid in the future, but the more reason is that C-Ronaldo's worth and salary are too high, and Manchester United needs to consider selling C-Ronaldo to repay the high loan from the bank.

This is still a hidden danger left by the Glazer family staying at Manchester United.

Not to mention Messi.

Unless Messi himself decides to leave, it is absolutely impossible for Barcelona to sell Messi.

The above-mentioned superstars do not leave their respective clubs. Another reason is that they are famous enough that they do not need to transfer to increase their status. They can get the top salary in their original clubs, and they will With the support of more loyal fans, the transfer will naturally lose its meaning, and the gain outweighs the gain.

In any case, technical midfield superstars are very rare, and there are not many in world football. If they can get great honors, they may become the king of the ball if they go one step further.

Millwall lacks a technical midfield superstar.

Before Zhang Yang didn't think that a technical midfield superstar could bring anything, especially after the success of the 'dual-core' tactic, the cooperation of the two midfield cores can bring the team a smooth attack and a gorgeous offensive. Some don't care much.

Those teams with 'superstars' may not necessarily be able to beat Millwall.

It's different now.

Since the UEFA Champions League group match against Roma, I saw Totti's brilliant performance and saw the Millwall team defending Totti, but there was nothing good to do about it.

After returning to the league, in the game against Manchester United, C-Ronaldo also played the same way. Millwall set up a tight defense against C-Ronaldo, but C-Ronaldo still led Manchester United's offensive. It's safe to force him to pass the ball.

All these let Zhang Yang know the role of a superstar.

Superstars are not only leading the offense and performing well individually, they even have the ability to affect the outcome of a game. Many tactics will be useless in front of superstars, because they all have the ability to score goals alone.

----

After Millwall scored a goal, Zhang Yang focused on Braniff's performance.

In the offense, Braniff played the role of threading the needle, and also kicked the most important pass by the way. Such a performance is absolutely gorgeous.

He is an excellent midfield core.

At the same time, Zhang Yang also thought of Braniff's progress. Many old people in Millwall were unaware of Braniff's progress. Second, they feel that Braniff's status in the team has not changed.

Looking back two seasons ago, Braniff was the semi-main striker, and he was considered the second choice of the striker.

Now Braniff has changed positions, but it can still be said to be a 'semi-main player', he is not the absolute main force in the midfield.

This is the incredible place!
Two seasons ago, Millwall was a relegation team in the English Championship. Now they are the defending champions of the Premier League, the top team of the Premier League, and they have also reached the top [-] of the Champions League, competing with various giants in Europe.

Such two teams with a huge gap, the status of the semi-main force is also very different.

This is where Braniff progressed.

Perhaps the same is true of other players, such as Josh Simpson, Jody Morris, and Darren Ward, but you must know that Darren Ward and Morris are the absolute main players. "Strength, Simpson was endowed with an excellent set-piece talent by the "word spirit bewitching", so he can naturally catch up with the team's improvement.

More players have not caught up with the team's improvement speed. For example, Kevin Keir, who competed with Braniff, has returned to play in the British Championship. Curtis Weston is just a low-level substitute, and there are many former players. The main players have all gone to other teams, and they are not as good as Kevin Keel.

This shows that Braniff is excellent.

Braniff's improvement speed is so fast, and his performance is valued by the outside world. Many teams want to dig out the midfield core and use it, which can be regarded as a recognition of their own strength.

If Braniff continues to grow, he will become the top midfielder in Europe in the future.

Perhaps similar to Scholes?Or other similar players, but he will definitely not become a superstar. One is that Braniff is about the same age, and he cannot continue to improve. Not good, the latter can almost be said to be the signature ability of a technical midfield superstar.

In the professional arena, dribbling is not an ability that is favored by the head coach.

Many players who love to show off their footwork will be criticized by the head coach, but it is only because they are not good enough. If they are like Ronaldo, Messi and other stars, they can dribble the ball by themselves, complete the shots by themselves, and they can hit the ball. Come on, any head coach can only shut up.

Zhang Yang has already begun to look forward to it.

Other head coaches will definitely not be able to encourage the growth of seedlings, and let Braniff directly become a top technical superstar from an outstanding midfielder. Publicity is different. He has the ability to force players to "bewitch words and spells"--
"Speaking Spirit Bewitching: Compulsory designation of followers, followers can gain the ability to increase the designated ability of the speaking spirit."

(The improvement effect is related to the trust of followers.)
(The ability to be promoted, the number of followers that can be specified at present——3)

Last season, Millwall won both the league and the FA Cup. Zhang Yang's head coach module ability has also been improved, and the promotion effect has been obtained for "Speaking Spirit Bewitching", and the number of designated followers has increased by one.

Zhang Yang has never used this ability, mainly because he was not sure which player to use it for.

First of all, the selected players must have enough trust in themselves. Players like Darren Bent who have grown up through their own efforts are excluded.

Darren Bent is also very good, but he is not 'one of his own', and trust in him is limited to his coaching ability.

Then the options are limited.

Morris?
Too old.

Weston?
Growth is not high.

Even Jamie Vardy, Zhang Yang is reluctant to use his abilities, because Vardy is good enough, what he lacks the most is not a certain ability, but a lot of game experience, using the "word spirit bewitching" to force promotion, it is only The icing on the cake doesn't make up for the lack of experience.

Now seeing Braniff who performed well, Zhang Yang's mood became hot.

But he didn't make a decision.

It is really important to choose the follower of "Spiritual Bewitching". Zhang Yang regretted choosing Josh Simpson in the first place.

Simpson is not bad, but his overall ability is a bit poor. With free kick ability, it only makes his position more stable and adds an offensive method to the team. It is really too much for the effect of "speaking spirit bewitching". wasted.

What about Braniff?
Zhang Yang decided to observe for a period of time, and he must be cautious about the candidates to follow the 'Yan Lingzhu'.

----

In the rest of the first half, Arsenal attacked very hard. They hoped to equalize the score in the rest of the time, otherwise it would be very disadvantageous to delay until the second half.

Arsenal's offense is still very sharp, and their continuous fast-paced offensive also caused Millwall a headache. In the last time, Millwall used a compressed formation to completely defend the goal.

At halftime, Millwall returned to the dressing room.

Zhang Yang praised his performance in the first half, especially the performance on the defensive end, which made him even more satisfied. Millwall's performance was dazzling in the frontcourt, but facing Arsenal's strong offense, the team did not allow the opponent to score a goal. It is also quite remarkable.

This is the credit of the defensive end.

Zhang Yang did not hesitate to praise Braniff. In front of all the players, he said openly and loudly, "Kevin, you did a great job! I believe you must be the best player in this game. You must continue to work hard in the second half." , cooperate more with teammates, and pay attention to defense by the way, and be more active..."

Zhang Yang talked a lot.

While praising Braniff, he also mentioned some problems that need to be corrected.

Braniff listened patiently, and felt very excited in his heart. What he likes to hear most is public praise, especially when he is praised in front of all his teammates, it will show his excellence.

But maybe others don't think so.

It's not the first time Zhang Yang has done this kind of thing. Compliments to other players are just saying "good job". If you get second in the exam, your parents may say, "You did a good job. It will be even better if you get first in the exam next time."

Zhang Yang's tone is like this.

Whenever they heard these words, many players turned black and looked at Braniff with great interest, but found that Braniff had an arrogant face, accepting the praise like a child, and suddenly I don't think I should be alienated from Braniff.

This guy has an annoying personality, but he must admit that his heart is very pure!

----

At the beginning of the second half, Zhang Yang watched the game carefully, mainly observing Braniff's performance.

There are two focal points on the field.

One is Braniff and the other is Cesc Fabregas. The two represent two teams respectively. They are both the most outstanding players and the core of the midfield.

This allows for a comparison.

Zhang Yang has a certain understanding of Cesc Fabregas. Fabregas has not yet fully matured, but his performance has been quite good. There is a gap between him and his peak, and the gap is not so obvious.

If Braniff can catch up with Cesc Fabregas and let him get excellent dribbling ability, it can be said that he is very close to the superstar, but at the beginning of the second half, it was Arsenal who performed well.

This is the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal's turf.

Arsenal definitely hope to beat Millwall. It is unacceptable to fall behind by one goal. Their offense is very fierce. For a period of time, they suppressed Millwall on the scene.

In defense, it is difficult for Braniff to perform outstandingly.

Arsenal's mentality seems to be a little anxious. They have found several opportunities in consecutive attacks, but they have not been able to break through Millwall's goal.

When Millwall launched a counterattack, Arsenal were a little bit overwhelmed.

Millwall's offensive coordination is actually inferior to that of Arsenal's maturity that has lasted for many seasons, but the advantages are also obvious. The 'dual core' brings smooth transitions between left and right lanes. 'Mature experience' can be typed out.

When Millwall is in full swing, the transition of football from left, center to right, or right, center to left only needs three or four passes. They can play smoothly in the frontcourt, which also makes It is difficult for Arsenal to target and limit.

This advantage was brought to the extreme in the No.603 minute.

After the football was passed to Braniff by Konchesky, Braniff and Pires played a two-on-one match, and suddenly pushed the ball across to Simpson, who then handed it to Quaresma.

Arsenal's defense against their own right side suddenly collapsed. When they reacted and adjusted the central defender's position, the football appeared in the middle again.

Braniff kicked Pires.

Pires inserted in the penalty area on the left side, shot from a small angle of [-] degrees, and sent the ball directly into the near corner of the goal. The goalkeeper Lehmann missed it by a hair.

"2 to 0! Pires! Pires!"

"Pirres played against his old club Arsenal! Pires is the focus of this game. He chose to leave Arsenal, which is still controversial. Many Arsenal fans are supporters of Pires. They think the team should stay. Pires, but in the end Pires failed to get a contract of more than one year, so he had to choose to leave and join Millwall."

"Now that Pires is facing Arsenal again, many people are concerned about how he will play. This goal says it all!"

"Pirres didn't do any celebratory gestures, he just glanced around and walked back silently..."

The camera lens zoomed in, and I saw that Pires was not expressionless. He rubbed his eyes with his hands, and when he got close to the center line, he noticed that the circles of his eyes were already red.

He cried.

But Pires turned to look at his teammates and smiled.

"This picture can understand Pires' mood. Leaving Arsenal, where he has been playing for, to join Millwall. Leaving aside whether the choice is right or wrong, Pires must have deep feelings for Arsenal. Now with familiar teammates, Fans play in a stadium, but they have become rivals..."

　Today I have a headache, a bit of a cold, and feel uncomfortable all day. .There can only be one update.
